Something Dangerous

Kirkston Abbey is no place for weak or sensitive boys. Unsupervised bullies wreak their vengeance on younger boys in the dormitories at night; cold, exacting professors reduce their students to tears in class. So Jonathan Palmer can't believe his good fortune when Richard Rokeby seeks out his friendship. Richard Rokeby is everything Jonathan is not: wealthy, strong, handsome, aloof; even the teachers can't touch him. With Rokeby as his protector, for the first time since arriving at the school, Jonathan feels safe. But as the two boys grow closer and Rokeby's demands on the relationship intensify, Jonathan comes to realize that there is something not quite right about his new friend. Something a bit off-kilter. Something slightly unnatural. Something...dangerous. What started out as an innocent game among schoolboys turns into a terrifying nightmare as Jonathan finds himself powerless to stop Richard Rokeby from unleashing a diabolical force that threatens to consume them all.
